AI Article Synopsis
- Histoplasmosis, an endemic fungal infection in the U.S., can lead to various health issues, including serious complications like mediastinal adenitis and fibrosing mediastinitis.
- Surgical treatment may be needed for these complications despite it not being the first option.
- A unique case is discussed where acute histoplasmosis caused an inflammatory mass that compressed the left atrium, leading to heart rhythm problems.
Article Abstract
, an endemic mycosis in the United States, can result in a variety of clinical manifestations. When encountering histoplasmosis sequelae, such as mediastinal adenitis, granulomas, and fibrosing mediastinitis, surgical management may be an unexpected but necessary treatment. Due to the complexity of the mediastinum, it is imperative to have optimal operative planning. In this report, we present an unusual case of an inflammatory mediastinal mass in the setting of acute histoplasmosis resulting in left atrium compression and arrhythmias.
